Hi all I'm looking for lowering springs for the coupe.

I only want to go 30 or 35mm.

There's many of different brands available and I know eibach will be the best but I was wondering if anyone has ever fitted anything different to eibach?

I.e what brands?
What was the quality of the ride like?
And how did the car sit?

Thanks in advance

So I'm guessing they are good as you are recommending them.

I'm in 2 minds now as I can get eibachs for about the same price

I have Eibachs on my LE and as you would expect the ride is firmer however one thing I have noticed with regard to ride quality with a lowered spring is its significantly better with some weight in the car - or in other words - petrol in the tank. Theres a real noticeable difference when the car is running lighter compared to one with say over half a tank of gas and the weight that that gives.....
